McLame is now reporting that its a done deal and will be announced at season's end.

Was just posted on the Chron website. Here's a few excerpts

Unless something like a blowout loss to Jacksonville in Sunday’s game at Reliant Stadium causes him to have an 11th-hour change of heart, McNair will bring back Kubiak for his sixth season, two people familiar with the situation said on Thursday.

McNair has declined to comment on Kubiak’s job situation since Dec. 15, but three people close to the owner said he’s angry, disappointed and frustrated with the Texans’ 5-10 record that includes eight losses in nine games.

They say, however, that McNair believes the offense is in good hands with Kubiak overseeing it but that he wants to improve the defense dramatically.

Breaking or not, what a joke. The two biggest failures of coaches on one team...what more could you ask for???

And when a top five coach like Cowher says he wants to come here!!

So, McNair doesn't recognize the offense has serious issues that need to be addressed, i.e. consistent play for 4 quarters? There's more to what ails the Texans than the Bush and Gibbs alone.

But, hey whatever.
 
I don't know what to think but I can say please don't bring over Brian Stewart from UH. I am a huge UH fan and I can honestly say my Cougars have a WORSE defense than the Texans.
 
I can get behind Kubiak. So long as he changes some things, like clock management.

But...whoever thought that having Glover Quinn as the most experienced CB on the squad was a good idea for a playoff team should be fired.

UH has the worst defense ever, but Brian Stewart just got there. The guy last year (forget his name) is the one that set us back big time on defense.

Bravo Bottom Line Bob, you have cracked the top 3 worst owners in the NFL with this crap. You are a joke and I hate you for what you are doing. I wish you'd die and your son Cal would take over. He can't be as big a moron as you. We are right there with the Bills as the biggest jokes in the NFL

Uhhh. Seriously? One too many Red Bulls today you think? :mcnugget:
 
The sad thing is that McNair thinks that he's building a Pittsburg Steeler type franchise. Truth is, the Steelers would have fired Kubiak after year 3.

McNair thinks that because the Steelers never fired anybody, that, therefore, he should never fire anyone, either (Capers is an exception because he was the first coach) and give them as much time as they need to "get it right."

Meanwhile, Raheem Morris, whom Tampa Bucs fans hated when he was hired, has his formerly-terrible team rocking and rolling in the competitive NFC South (except for Carolina).

Honestly, we may have to get used to Kubiak around for 8 to 10 years at the least, regardless of his record.
 
Personally, i think it will happen...no way a job would be offered to Wade while the season is still alive and Bush at the helm.....

wonder if McClain's even credible? He was the one gobbling for hours and hours that we would draft Toby Gerhart..

Oh, that's right. I think we realized a year ago or so that he had lost his connections to the team and had no more inside info.

What was it that gave him credibility again?

Well, but, McClain's sources inside the Texans have nothing to do with the fact that Bum Phillips doesn't know about an upcoming offer. It's possible that someone inside the Texans told McClain that an offer is coming. That doesn't mean that Bum Phillips would know about it.

Trust me, I want to agree with you, however.

The only hope we have it seems for Uncle Bob to bite the big one and hope that his son is a much smarter and capable owner. Obviously, I don't wish anyone's death because that is wrong but that honestly is basically the only hope we have for change in the future as McNair has proven definitively that he just doesn't get it and is a complete moron as a NFL owner.

The Colts were a as big a joke as the Texans until the Irsay son took over after his father's death. Just stating the cold, hard truth.
 
Well, Mark Berman at FOX26 has posted just about the same story. (Kubiak retained, Phillips likely to be hired, Brian Stewart possible candidate for DB job)

HOUSTON - As FOX 26 Sports reported Wednesday night there are strong indications Houston Texans owner Bob McNair will retain head coach Gary Kubiak.

NFL sources also indicate the Texans are expected to go after former Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips to become their new defensive coordinator.

If that holds up one possibility for the Texans secondary coach is University of Houston defensive coordinator Brian Stewart.

Stewart was the secondary coach in San Diego (2004-2006) when Phillips was the defensive coordinator of the Chargers and Stewart was the defensive coordinator (2007-2008) of the Cowboys during the first three two years Phillips was the head coach in Dallas.

Any decisions McNair reaches will not become public until after the season is over.

This franchise is a ****ing joke, except the only people that get to enjoy the punchline are our divisional rivals and other NFL fans. I can't believe there's another poster who actually created a thread criticizing other fans for making the decision to pull the plug on their PSLs with decisions like this, especially with the economy we currently live it.
 
It's common knowledge that if something isn't working, you change it so it will work. It's easy for me to say McNair is making a huge mistake here.

Of course, Uncle Bob is worth a couple billion and I shop at the clearance section at outlet stores. Something tells me he knows how to manage his investments.

If Bob McNair were the CEO and he was in charge of managing a company he would have two goals 1) building brand share and 2) deliver financial results. Based on what he's done to date he would be fired immediately by the board of directors. Sure he is driving bottom line results but the long term brand stability of the organization is not on the right course by maintaining the executive management below him (Bush, Kubiak, Smith)......

To be a brilliant business leader....you have to drive financial results along with elevating brand equity. Bob is only focusing on one (financials)....he is ****ing with the brand by pissing off the fans right now.

Throwing the B.S. flag on that one... Becoming a success in the business world doesn't automatically translate to becoming a success in the sports world, especially if your owner runs the team like a business and doesn't have the fire in his belly to WIN!.

Business wise, Bob McNair is one of the most successful owners in the world...hell he has one of the top 10 most profitable franchises in the entire world, he's "managing his investment", but where are the wins?

If being a billionaire and being successful in the business world automatically guaranteed you'd be successful in the sports world (as in wins on the field), then we wouldn't have owners like Donald Sterling, the Ford family, and now Bob freaking McNair. Bob's success outside of football has little to do with him being guaranteed success in football...unless you count the bottom dollar where Bob is kicking ass, but it's the only place where he's kicking ass.

Wait. But, Derek is the best Texans fan in the world. You didn't know that?

As I told someone yesterday, McNair thinks that the economy is hunky dory. It ain't. People are still struggling, and have to make choices.
 
*sigh*

I can already sense what will happen here going foward...

this team is going to start 0-4 next year, and Bob will be forced to cave into the pressure and let Kubiak go, just to make Wade the interim HC and watch him go 6-6 the rest of way...which in turn will make Bob think that's good enough to take the interim tag off and make him the HC for 2012 going foward.

to be quite frank.....if a crystal ball shows us not having playoffs for the next 10 yrs with this owner...I'd be happy if he just takes this team with him and GTFO of Houston. I'm sure there would be another billionaire who will come along and want to deliver a winning team.

Oh you mean something close to what happened with Wade's last heading coaching gig. :wadepalm:

They will go right back to being a joke too once Peyton Manning leaves that team.

Either way i'm not THAT disappointed if this is the decision. To keep kubes and bring in a guy like Wade. I've always thought that was very likely with the NFL's current situation and all.

I do not like the excuse of blaming the defense though, the Head Coach is responsible for both sides of the ball and ST as well.

Either way i'll still be rooting for the team come next year.

Yeah F that. I really doubt Houston would be able to draw a 3rd team. LA is having a hard time doing that. Good thing Houston should have never lost it's first team and I really can't see any way possible Houston loses the Texans any way.
 
McNair can announce whatever he wants. I'll continue to wait until Black Monday to get here. A lot can happen between then. I'm especially going to be interested in how the players and fans respond. Reliant's going to be a mess come Sunday.

Whatever happens... go Texans.
